switch the measurement to metric (mine had a button on the bottom that easily did that)

Just what I was looking for. A book with all the technical challenges from season two, and various recipes from some of the bakers. I've made quite a few recipes from the book. Don't get discouraged that the ingredients are measured differently than we do here in the states. Just get yourself a digital scale ($10 and up), switch the measurement to metric (mine had a button on the bottom that easily did that), and measure til your heart is content. There are a lot of extra recipes that weren't on the show and that aren't from Paul and Mary, but they are still good.

Poor editing! Missing ingredients

Poor editing! Missing ingredients!!
The recipe for Fresh Egg Custard is missing the sugar in the ingredients list!
So sad, now I can't make it.
I hope this problem is not repeated on other recipes that I decide to try. Useless.

Editing issue

I want to love this book. I am such a fan of this show and learning to use the metric system for baking (as it is way more accurate), but the first recipe I made was the Lemon Poppyseed cake and it did not turn out because the measurements were wrong! I looked up the original recipe on the BBC website and it is missing many grams of flour and the proportions are very different. Someone else mention that they forgot to add sugar to an egg custard recipe, so I hope those are the two only errors because the book was very expensive....as well as the wasted ingredients when it doesn't turn out!

I love GBBO and

I love GBBO and, when I was in the UK, I noticed that everyone there loves them and the cookbooks are everything. I bought a couple and then came back and bought this one off of Amazon. Everything I bake out of this book has been a huge hit. Highly recommend this book

Just like the show

I purchased this cookbook for my husband as he loves "Great British Bake Off" program on BBC. He has enjoyed the book and even made a Victorian Sponge. Be aware that you need a metric capable scale. The cookbook has not been translated for american kitchens.

So happy with this purchase after watching the tv show

Beautiful cookbook. Beautiful illustrations and matches show. Remember in America that you need a scale to weigh instead of cup to measure volume. They are very inexpensive & well worth it!

Book Revives Baking Activity

Loved the read and education in this book. Waiting for a cool day to bake some of Paul Hollywood's bread recipes and for November when the glace cherries will be available for Mary Berry's Cherry Cake. Very pleased.

Wonderful Reading and Fabulous Results

Love this, this show has me hooked. Everyone has such high standards and is so polite. Even the recipes are without drama in making them, but are the star when they are baked. I've even started using metrics on a daily basis.
